Who wins Artur Beterbiv-Dmitriry Bivol II and why?

Published

on

Before Saturday’s gigantic night of boxing in Riyjad, the BoxingScene band looks at the future at what they expect will happen in Saudi Arabia, and which warrior will appear with the victory of one of the most attractive duels.

Tris Dixon: Because John Scully, who works with Beterbieal, pointed out that I still can’t snail-paced down under Bivola’s eye. Chris Eubanka’s first fight with Carl Thompson was a war and he still had a black eye when they fought again and immediately entered the game. Scully really knows this sport on the left and although tempting will say that Beterbiev is a little older and Bivol knows that he is opposite, I think that the eye will become a factor and although Beterbiev may not stop Bivol, such an obstacle may become such an obstacle, which he must give up and give up rounds to survive.

Kieran Mulvaney: I chose Bivol to win for the first time, and I thought he had thrown him personally, so I choose him again. Beterbiev is consistently impressive, and there is a lot more for him than he himself, but he is now 40 years venerable and this is the fastest turn between the fights since 2015. There is so little to choose that marginal differences are marginal differences will come into the game, and this time they are in favor of Bivol.

LANCE PUGMIRE: Dmitriry Bivol. I thought he won the first fight, and his 12 rounds of experience against the older, heavier Hitter should refer to Bivol to create a shiny program similar to his performance against Canelo Alvarez. Beterbiev has an excuse to let go of gas, taking into account his position to the trilogy match, and that a fraction of motivation conducive to Bivol – as the Beterbavów is 40 years venerable – should be the bivol tempo for a unanimous decision. I will say 116-112.

Tom Ivers: Artur Beterbiev can achieve much better than in October, especially with a sedate knee injury. I think that this time we will see the perpetrator, sharper and more explosive plant. He will undermine the pace early and I do not see that Bivol is able to cope with constant pressure for 12 rounds. I do not think that Bivol can significantly improve his performance in October, and if he holds his feet more, I can only imagine Nokaut Beterbiev.

Ryan Songalia: It is really tough to say because I do not know what every warrior can do differently than the first fight up close. Beterbiev finally won because he was ready to press a little more in a behind schedule fight than Bivol, which he himself achieved many successes to choose Beterbaview. I think that if Bivol can invest in the body early, instead of going only on low hanging fruit upstairs, and it can close a stronger fight. But I think you have to favor Beterbaview again.

Owen Lewis: If Beterbiev was 35 years venerable, not 40, I would agree to predict Tom to the letter. I thought that Bivol looked special in October and made his desired game plan to the highest possible standard, while Beterbiev was only sporadically effective, though in the crucial rounds of the championship. Considering that Beterbiev made a decision, I felt that it was quite clear proof that he was a better general warrior. But Beterbiev is comfortably the oldest warrior on pounds for pounds and, despite his resistance to his father, Logic suggests that he will look a little worse in this fight than the last one, just as he was a little worse against Bivol than against Callum Smith in January 2024. Power Beterbaview is still a constant threat to winning by knockout, but I expect age His engine will manage – and maybe even its impact resistance – sufficient for Bivol win the decision.

Matt Christie: Like Fight One, this is an extremely tough choice. And even after using the fact that they were made available earlier, it is not easier to make a decision. Perhaps Beterbiev recently fought an injury and not quite matched, because although I felt that he only pressed it, he tried to ensure long enough to be convincing. Given their age and a potential place to improve, Bivol on points would be my uncertain forecast.

Eric Raskin: I will bend towards Beterbaview, perhaps a little less controversial this time. Bivol really felt pressure when the first fight lasted. Although he was urgently boxing, he did not seem to be able to hurt Beterbavera and learned how tough to discourage him. As long as Beterbiev does not appear more than in October, I think that this time he may start a little earlier and abused the unanimous win in points.

Declan Warrington: By denying something I have already written about this fight, Beterbiev after stopping. I am convinced that he will be won by a warrior, who took advantage of the first fight between them the most – who learned the most about the second and can make the necessary corrections to win a boxing competition. It may be Bivol, which produces a different master class. But if it is Beterbiev – and in the first fight there were tips – it usually means victory in space. Is it too cynical to indicate that if it is as competitive as the first fight, Bivol will probably decide due to the potential of the third fight? If this is not the case, I had similar suspicions before Oleksandr Usyk-Tyson Fury II and I was pleasantly surprised that they turned out to be badly recognized.

Elliot Worsell: As always, I really have no idea, but I will go for Bivol based on the fact that I thought he won the first fight against rounds to lose, and around the ninth or tenth I felt Masterclass. Things changed soon, in rounds 11 and 12, but I can’t deny how I felt how to watch Bivol during the first 10 rounds. To say, Beterbiev will certainly be better for the second time and undoubtedly encourages what happened in rounds 11 and 12 Fight One.

Lucas Ketelle: I believe we will see the draw. The first fight was so close and I doubt that we would see something else in the second.

Jason Langendorf: The rematch is the same as tossed as the first fight when it comes to the way he was perceived before and after. It only depends on what you like. But Beterbiev’s power is a distinguishing feature, and if his knee is well and has not been four in the last four months, this time he will win even more convincing – perhaps even by knockout.

Terence Crawford Claims Everyone Waited for His Retirement to Acknowledge His Greatness

“Before I retired, there wasn’t too many people jumping and calling for Terence Crawford. Now that I’m retired, everybody calling out your boy,” Crawford said to Nightcap. “It’s the payday and opportunity. They look at it and say, ‘Okay, we’re going to get the highest check of our career. This dude is about to be 39. He probably slowed down a step or two, and maybe this is the right time.’”

His reading of the belated Crawford chase is fair. Jaron “Boots” Ennis wants him, Ryan Garcia has taken shots at his record, and Dana White has talked about finding the right fight to pull him back. He has become far more popular as a target since announcing he is finished.

The risk has changed as well. Calling out an active Crawford meant eventually having to fight him. Challenging him now gives a boxer publicity without requiring him to follow through unless an enormous financial package materializes.

Age is clearly part of the attraction. A younger opponent can collect a career-high purse while hoping that time has removed enough of the speed, reflexes, and stamina that made Crawford so difficult. If the challenger loses, he was beaten by an all-time great. If he wins, Crawford’s name becomes the foundation of his career.

An Ennis fight would therefore need to offer Crawford much more than another name on his record. He already walked away after winning titles in five divisions and becoming undisputed in three. Beating Ennis would generate money, but the reaction would quickly turn into claims that Crawford was always supposed to win.

He also insisted that he is enjoying retirement and does not miss competing inside the ring.

“I’ve been enjoying the hell out of it. I don’t have to worry about anything. All I have to do is enjoy life, travel the world, and be a fan. In the ring, no, not really. I did everything. When I walked away, I was a five-division champion and three-division undisputed. You can’t do it any better than how I did it.”

The challenges may continue because Crawford remains the biggest available payday from 147 through 160. That does not mean any of those fighters wanted the same test before his departure made it safer to ask.

Dana White Shuts Down Ryan Garcias Egg Stunt Controversy

"Dana White Shuts Down Ryan Garcia's Egg Stunt Controversy"

Ryan Garcia showed up to Friday’s face-off with a pair of eggs tucked into his pockets, seemingly planning to pelt Conor Benn. The prank fell apart before Garcia even stepped on stage because Dana White’s security guards caught on immediately.

“Before the face-off, Ryan Garcia had two eggs in his pocket. My security team saw it and he came up to me before. He said, ‘He’s got two eggs in his pocket. What do you want me to do?’ I said, ‘Have him give you the eggs. Get the eggs out of his pocket,’” White told Ring Magazine. “We don’t need him hitting Conor Benn with an egg.”

White made the right call. Tossing an egg sounds silly on paper, but Benn was never going to shrug off that kind of public disrespect under the glare of the cameras. A single retaliatory swing could have sparked an injury, triggered a suspension, or completely wiped out the headliner.

Garcia clearly plotted this out ahead of time. He sourced the eggs, slipped them past the doors, and bided his time until the face-off. The payoff amounted to nothing more than a brief viral clip online. The downside was putting a massive WBC welterweight title bout in jeopardy after promoters poured millions into the event.

Security stepped in just in time to protect Garcia from his own worst impulses. When Saturday night arrives, he can focus on landing clean punches against Benn instead of throwing breakfast food. Taking those eggs away prevented an instant, close-quarters brawl that almost certainly would have left one of them cut, bruised, and unfit to fight on Saturday. Ryan was playing with fire for a five-second clip.

Expert Predictions for Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Insights from Canelo, Terence Crawford, and Mike Tyson

"Expert Predictions for Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn: Insights from Canelo, Terence Crawford, and Mike Tyson"

Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn finally collide in Las Vegas this weekend in a fight that has generated plenty of intrigue because of the contrasting routes both men have taken to get here.

Garcia makes the first defence of his WBC welterweight title after defeating Mario Barrios earlier this yearwhile Benn drops back to 147lbs for the first time since 2022 following spells at higher weights.

The Brit has admitted the weight cut has been ‘brutal’adding another major variable to a fight in which Garcia’s speed and power will be tested against Benn’s pressure and aggression.

With both men carrying significant name value and plenty at stake, the biggest names in boxing have weighed in on what might happen – will it be a first successful defence for the more experienced Garcia, or can the Brit cause an almighty upset on away soil?

Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez

Speaking on the Ariel Helwani ShowMexican icon Canelo backed his former stablemate Garcia, though complimented both men.

“I like Ryan, he is very talented. When he is focussed, he can beat everybody … I know Conor too and I like Conor too, but I think that Ryan is a special fighter.”

Terence Crawford

Recently retired pound-for-pound superstar Crawford – who has been embroiled in a back-and-forth with Garcia – told DAZN that the American’s loss to Rolando Romero will provide a good blueprint for Benn to win.

“I think Conor Benn. I think Rolly showed us all that if you don’t get hit with the left hook and you land your big shots, then you can neutralise Ryan. I think Conor Benn going in with a great game plan can be victorious.”

Shakur Stevenson

A potential rival for both men in the future, four-weight world champion backed Garcia in an interview with FightHypebut does not rule out the Brit ‘shocking the world’.

“I just don’t think that he has got the experience to beat Ryan, I think that is what is going to come out. But, I seen something with Fernando Vargas where he said, ‘which one of them guys quit?’, and I said ‘damn’.

“I never really thought about that but that is like a fighters mentality and Ryan did kind of quit in one of his fights and Conor Benn has never quit. It is an interesting thing and maybe Conor Benn may shock the world and beat Ryan Garcia but me, knowing Ryan, Ryan should beat him.”

Eddie Hearn

After a bitter promotional split, Eddie Hearn told Boxing News that he is backing Garcia to beat his former charge due to the drastic weight cut.

“If he gets his flush on the chin at 147lb against Ryan Garcia, the fight is over. So he’s got to rely on his ability but he likes to engage, he likes to jump in. Ryan is so reactive, he’s a great counter puncher but Ryan can also be hurt, but I don’t think Conor is going to punch hard enough at 147lbs.

Mike Tyson

The sport’s youngest ever heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson, backs Garcia to beat an improving Benn.

“Ryan [wins]. We’ll see [if it ends by knockout]. Conor’s getting better.”


The fight takes place this Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Jai Opetaia and Noel Mikaelian meet in a cruiserweight clash as co-main event.
